I knew where I wanted to go but had to call upon an English speaking driver to translate my destination to the next in line taxi. All that I wanted was to go somewhere, be dropped off and have someone come back and get me in a half an hour. Very obliging man who agreed to do as I requested. Once in the cab he wanted to take me all over the place for 50 ml (which I didn't have)............ Knowing how they love bartering didn't help me because of my lack of the lingo.............I did get to my destination and I did pay him all of my money excepting for enough for me to buy a sandwich and a drink for lunch...........and I survived, but it taught me a lesson. I was quite frightened by the whole affair. BUT it did allow me to get piccies like this one.........
so don't overlook Gaeta on your trip to Italy.
Have your escape route planned at all times and if you find yourself in a situation that was unexpected, thank your lucky stars when it turns out well.
